SPECIAL FOR YOUNG MEN.

The world is older than you ar by
several years; for thousands of years
lit has been full of smarter and better
young men than yourself; when they
sdied the globe went whirling on, and
mot one man in a hundred million
went to the funeral or even heard of
This death.
Be as smart as you can of course.
Know as much as you can, shed the
light of your wisdom abroad in the
world, but don't try to dazzle or as
stonish anybody with it.
And don't imagine thing is, simply
because you think it is.
Don't be too sorry for your father
IL because he knows so much less than
you do.
He used to think he was as much
smarter than his father as you think
B you are smarter than yours.
The world has great need of young
men, but no great need than young
men have of the world.
Your clothes fit better than your
fathers fit him; they cost more mon
ely; they are more stylish.
He used to be as straight and MIN
BILE as you are, He, too, perhaps,
thought his father old-fashioned.
Your moustache is neater, the cut
of your hair is better, and you are
prettier, far prettler than ''pa."
But, young man, the old gentle
mans homely, scrambling signature
on check, will draw more money out
of the bank in five minutes than you
could get out with ream of paper
and a copper-plate signature in six
months.
Young men are useful and they
are ornamental, and we all love them,
and we could not get up picnic sue
cesstully without them.
But they are no novelty, they have
been here before.
Every generation has had full
supply of them, and will have to the
end of them; each crop will think
themselves quite ahead of the last,
and will live to be called old fogies
by their sons.

FARM NOTES.

The watering troughs are liable
to get full Of filth and rubbish, and
will need frequent attention. Fbe
! water for horses should be as pure
as can be secured.
Good rules for the dairymen ::
Low feed for ten days before the
calf is dropped, fair feed for ten days
following, and the big feed for ten
months.
Keep all stable manure out of the
strawberry patch, unless you know
it to be tolerably free from weed
seeds. 1t is cheaper to buy and APP
ply commercial fertilizers than TO be
pulling weeds all summer.
Why not plant black walnuts, but
ternuts and chestnuts upon your
farm ? There may be as much pro-
fit in planting these smut bearing
trees as in planting fruit trees.
Aside from fruit, the timber is, ex-
ceedingly valuable.
The faulty plums which will fall
before ripening should be carefully
destroyed, as the egg deposited in
the fruit which caused it to drop from
the stems will deyelope into para
sites, which may utterly destroy the
whole plum crop. For this very rea-
son hogs should always have the run
of the plum orchard.
To get the best flavor to butter,
feed a fair proportion of corn meal
and vary the diet with oats, mid
dlings and bran, using the whole
mixed with plenty of good clover
hay. A proportion of linseed meal,
with ensilage or roots, will also be
found beneficial The best method
of feeding, however, will not avail
unless there is proper management
in the dairy.
One of the best deodorizers in sta
bles is ground plaster. 1t may be
sprinkled about the stands and over
the manure heap daily. 1t will alb
SCRIBE the odors and retain them,
thus increasing the value of the dress
ing.
The Southdown sheep are some
what small, but have great proper
u ton of meat to offal. They are brown
and gray-faced, no horns, thick, close
wool between the ears, with fine form,
and are very hardy.

a ~ONE-POUND BABY.
The Strange Little Waif Left on n Womnn's
~ H ts. Doorstep.

#. ...t I'D . .I. '|H~
Between 4 and 5 o'clock on Saturday
morning Celia Williams, a colored woman
who lives on Market street on the corner
Of Alley 6, heard a baby cry, and opening
her front door, she found q girl baby in
a basket, wrapped in an old shirt. She
took 1t in andis caring for 1t g well as
possible. She says she has no idea whose
baby it Ia or where 1t came from. 1t ia
evidently of mixed black and white
blood, is thought by people who have
some experience 10 DO about two weeks
old, and has the finest head 81 straight,
soft, fine, dark brown hair eve seen on
an infant.
The ~atrangest fact about the baby is ite
] evident health and its startlingly diminu.
tive aize. Miss Williams Gays she does
not believe it weighs over a pound. It
certainly cannot weigh over two pounds.
Its head is not larger than q full.grown
base bail, and It's hands are about the size
Of a medium dolls. Indeed the baby
would not be considered a very large doll
if it were china.or biaque instead Of flesh
and blood. It's features srs delicate and
Of q pronounced Caucasian type, its eyes
clear and pretty, ito hands unusually
strong and active and it's lungs undeniably
stout and perfect. Indeed, the child's un-
usual precocity leads to the suspicion that
it msy be much older than has been
guessed. Few infants Of two months are
SO thoroughly alive.
It is not by any means a puny baby.
On the contrary. it seems to be feshy for
its age. It Is the delicacyi Of it's bones
which makes 1t 60 tiny a thing. It bids
fair, If it reaches maturity, and from the
way it thrives on the n cows milk
which is its diet, there seems to BIO ground
for hope that 1t will, to rival Tom Thumb
or any Of the midgsts in diminutive stat
ure and excel them in lightneas Of avoir-
dupois. G

WHEELING STEEL AND NAILS.

A Damaging Error Is Corrected by "Uold
~ Short"
Gold SAort'' IN 81. Louis Age q Sk.l.
The Iron Age OF June 2, in diacuraine
editorialy tho situation Of tho soft steel
trade, unwittingly makes some gratuitoua
assertions regarding the condition Of the
nteel plants in the Wheeling distriet. I
uno the qualification unwittingly because
it is evident that the drift OF the article
was suggested by the best motives, but
come OF the information conveyed,
although 1t was furnished from this city,
is not borne out by facts. The article,
after abiding to soft steel aud the tariff in
connection with the nail trade ia a,spirit
to which there can be no objection, goes on
to state 1.-THE deplorapie condition of az
fairs in this branch OF trade Ia particularly
noticeable about Wheeling. > The
pioneers in tho trade met there with a
success that induced competition, but for
a time satisfactory results were obtained
until:the bottom dropped out OF the nail
trade and foreign soft steel products fell to
their present abnormally low price. Re.
cent adviOes from that locality state that
the mills look dssolate. = = The
steel works are doing nothing practically.
Occasionally O few orders are received for
soft billets, and the workn run for o few,
days-then shut down again." =
Now for the facts, which are at variance
within truth, they positively negative
the above statements. The pfonsors lii
the soft steel trade in thiB vicinity not
only met with euccess at the outset but
thai success was closely akin to an unpre-
cedented nature, and, except Tor some
stoppages induced by labor troubles, their
trade has continuously held on to most
gratifying propostionG. There are iyo
